He comes to hibs or stays there that's the deals nothing else.
Happy for hibs to target 2 and 3 if it's not done tonight

Celtic playing games is my take as well, no need in their position.

Perhaps not, but they are effectively a business, as is Hibs, not a charity.

Coming back to take advantage of the free pints on offer down Easter Road IMO.

That prob appeals to him more than playing!! Man won't need to ever buy a drink down Leith/ER.

I understand and agree with you about him going elsewhere if he can get a better deal. But my point is that in terms of his wages, he will only get what his contract with Celtic is. I'm saying that I would be disappointed in him because I don't think that any deal 'add-ons' from us or D Utd would be significantly different. He's got good connections with us, we're in a better place than them and I can't see the attraction for him to in going to Tannadice. That being the case, I would be disappointed if he chose them.

Understand what you mean now.

A reference to Keatings' commentary?

Fingers crossed ...

[SChibs]

I think Dundee Utd will invest the Robertson money for next season.

A championship winning team or a base for them to stay in the premiership. Depends on the outcome of this season for them.

I don't disagree but when you're a guy like Commons who has been earning 9 times that then you have to be prepared for the adjustment when it comes. He seems a switched on guy so reckon he will be but many aren't quite as clever and end up bankrupt!

It's all relative.

I watched an ESPN documentary about sport stars in USA. I can't remember the exact figure but it was something mind blowing, like 80% of athletes that make it to the major leagues of the big sports in America (NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB) declare themselves bankrupt after they retire. I couldn't believe it at the time and I still at this point wondering if it was just totally made up. Although I do remember in the documentary some people that were interviewed saying that they didn't get paid during the off season - which in NBA I know is about 6 months if you don't make the playoffs.

:hijack:
I always had a feeling Stokesy and Gaz were similar and now I know why - neither of them are Elvis fans.

Seen a few rumours that Celtic have accepted £34m for Dembele. Might be a load of tosh but if its true then they can wave any fee we need to pay, not as if they need it. 👀

[Hibeewilly]

I thought this was a Commons thread - hard to digest whats posted on here Anyway FWIWIMHO he will sign tomorrow. I am not telling you my source!!!! Enjoy your night

[Gmack7]

Is this deal dead or still hopeful of a revival?

[Jim44]

Assuming we're not going to strengthen the squad, if we continue to pick up points and get across the line, all concerned will be congratulated for a job well done. If however we take a downturn, pick up injuries to key players and get into a dogfight, this window will probably be identified as the catalyst. I'm a great believer in strengthening from a position of strength. I think that we will ultimately win the league but a couple of good signings could have almost guaranteed success.

Only by those who feel the need to have a scapegoat. We have no way of predicting who, if anyone will get injured and we can't cover everyone. If Commons and Stokes don't happen there will have been good reason for it - Stubbs and Lennon have repeatedly said they have had great backing from the board and so there is no reason to think that the board has let us down. If we can't get the players we really want then I for one wouldn't want last minutes makeshifts - we've been down that road before and it didn't work.

But it's a concern our manager said he needed 1 or 2 in at the weekend and yet nobody...that concerns me
